Trump loyalists, inner circle poised to claim top government roles

President-elect Donald Trump is poised to reward members of his inner circle with top roles in his administration, ensuring he is surrounded by familiar loyalists as the work of governing begins.

Trump’s staunchest defenders during the campaign, such as former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, former House speaker Newt Gingrich, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, are considered shoo-ins for Cabinet positions or senior advisory roles at the White House by sources familiar with personnel discussions.

The sources, who requested anonymity in order to discuss matters meant to be confidential, expect other close Trump advisers such as Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) and Breitbart News chief Steve Bannon to be offered high-ranking jobs. Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conwaytweeted Thursday that she may also accept a White House role, saying one had already been offered to her.

Trump spent the day meeting with advisers at Trump Tower in Manhattan after visiting the White House and Capitol Hill on Thursday. “Busy day planned in New York,” he tweeted at 8:33 a.m. Friday. “Will soon be making some very important decisions on the people who will be running our government!”

Republican circles are abuzz with speculation as Trump’s campaign and transition teams begin the messy work of joining forces to launch an administration by Jan. 20, roughly 70 days from now. Insiders have also begun the perennial Washington exercise of floating names and hypotheses about the new administration in the press, heightening the already intense media spotlight on the process.

Trump’s transition, consumed by post-election chaos, already reflects the insularity of his singular and often unusually run campaign. There has been just a single instance of on-the-record communication from the transition team apart from the website launched Wednesday, GreatAgain.gov — the announcement that Vice President-elect Mike Pence will take over leadership of the transition from Christie.
